[DEVELOPMENTS] - Heroes is not only a game, but also a book! — The unified universe of Might and Magic.

Did you buy it?
GREAT!
A fan book (if I could write, I would help, but for now, I can only find mistakes), then – a contract with Ubisoft, a contract to write a couple more books, then – a movie funded by Ubisoft :) Oh... Dreams, dreams.

Why immediately mention Ubisoft? You can make a modest film yourself! If there was a desire! And perhaps, this modest film could later lay the foundation for a NEW, great era of Heroes!

Will they make something like "Night of Shame"? :(

But Ubisoft bought the rights to the Might and Magic and Heroes series, so, sorry about that:)

Damn, what kind of times are these? The author is considered to be not the one who came up with the idea, but the one who owns the copyright! It's even unpleasant.:(

What difference does it make who owns the rights? You can call me a pessimist (and you'd be wrong!), but I don't really believe that our idea will go beyond a fan project; and if we make a film, it will only be an amateur one. But if it does take off, we'll somehow sort out the issue with Ubisoft. :) 2Novizard - I'm afraid Van Cannegham sold his rights to Ubisoft... Well, let's get down to specifics. I understand that we'll definitely start with the book, right? (By the way, I have a suggestion: first, create a campaign in the editor, and then write the book based on its playthrough.) Let's at least determine who can take on this task. I can.

maybe it’s better to create not a campaign, but a simple XL map, without calculating the balance, but rather create a simple sketch of the terrain and division into sections!!!

1. You need to decide on the factions and units; taking all of them is pointless!

2. You need to decide on the heroes (heroes will also participate in the battle, but will act as commanders).

3. You need to decide on the plot and storyline.

That’s probably all for now.

It would also be good to decide on the time period. I could write about the period before and immediately after the cataclysm.

As I already said, I can come up with names and titles. ;) And I can also write. If a hero has some kind of inner monologue, I can help with that if needed.

Heroes is one continuous era; it has no beginning, but it does have an end, and that end will be chosen by none other than humanity, by turning away from the magical, captivating world of Heroes. Cataclysms are linked to a god, and in Heroes, that god is YOU. Therefore, take up the pen and begin to create.

Okay. Maybe I’ll be able to force myself to keep writing. I’ll post it later. The first chapter is already available in the “Work in Progress” section for The Restoration of Erathia.

Why not about the cataclysm itself!

Exactly. During the cataclysm – like in Pekhov’s “The Last Testament” (I couldn’t buy it :().

Gentlemen, the idea is excellent, but everything needs to be done more organized. Who wants to make a book about Heroes — raise your hands! We need to decide on a team and a general plot, and then everyone will take their own piece and write it; once the writing is finished, it will need to be stylistically refined so that it's a book rather than a collection of short stories. And as for names, don't sweat it, use the principle I use in Ascension (by the way, everyone move to Ascension! :) ) – Avlii – Aquilon (the names are similar but different; everyone understands it' same kingdom of elves, based on Avlii, but not exactly the same), who else was there, Isabelle – Isabel, Heresh – just Necros. Some names can be left as they are, they are common in fantasy, although of course if this thing is published, you'll need to consult a lawyer (though I still don't think there will be any problems). If you get together — I'll help in every way! As I understand it, the book will not only be about Heroes 5 but about the whole series?

Guys, the idea is great, but it needs to be more organized. Who wants to work on a book about the heroes – raise your hands! We need to decide on a team, a general plot, and then each person takes their part and writes it. When it's written, it needs to be stylistically refined so that it's a book, not a collection of stories. And don't worry about the names; use the principle I use in Ascension (by the way, everything is in Ascension!:) ) – Avlii – Aquilon (the names are similar but different; everyone understands that this is the kingdom of elves, a prototype of Avlii, but not quite), who else is there, Isabel – Isabel, Kheresh – simply Necros. Some names can be left as they are; they are common in fantasy, although, of course, if you are going to publish this, you need to consult with a lawyer (but I don't think there will be any problems). If you decide to do it, I will help in any way I can! As I understand it, the book will be not only about the fifth Heroes game but about the entire series?

The book – the world of heroes... Saruman, thank you for your support... I will soon post the first chapter, and we will continue there!!!
